#¨##¨¨#¨¨# - - - - ELVES LIVE IN THE LAND - - - - ¨##¨#¨¨#¨¨
#¨¨#¨##¨## - - - - BEYOND THE GREAT DAM. - - - - ¨¨#¨#¨##¨#
#¨##¨¨#¨¨# - IT WAS BUILT IN THE LATE SIXTIES. - ¨##¨#¨¨#¨¨
#¨¨#¨##¨## - - - THE ELVES CAME TO US THEN. - - - ¨¨#¨#¨##¨#

#¨¨#¨##¨## CAME TO TRUST THEM. - - - - - - - - US ¨¨#¨#¨##¨#
#¨##¨¨#¨¨# KIDS WOULD PLAY DOWN AT THE WATER EVEN ¨##¨#¨¨#¨¨

#¨##¨¨#¨¨# - - SOMETIMES THE SLUICE WOULD CLOSE ¨##¨#¨¨#¨¨
#¨¨#¨##¨## ENTIRELY, AND THE RIVER AT THE DAMS ¨¨#¨#¨##¨#
#¨##¨¨#¨¨# FOOT WOULD DRY UP, REVEALING THE ROCKY ¨##¨#¨¨#¨¨
#¨¨#¨##¨## WATER GARDEN THAT HAD BEEN HIDDEN ¨¨#¨#¨##¨#
#¨##¨¨#¨¨# BENEATH, AND WE WOULD GO THERE. - - - - ¨##¨#¨¨#¨¨
#¨¨#¨##¨## - - - - BEFORE THE DAM OPENED AGAIN, ¨¨#¨#¨##¨#
#¨##¨¨#¨¨# THERE WOULD BE A SIGNAL, BUT THE ELVES ¨##¨#¨¨#¨¨
#¨¨#¨##¨## WOULD MAKE US NOT HEAR IT, AND SUDDENLY ¨¨#¨#¨##¨#
#¨##¨¨#¨¨# WE WOULD FIND THE WATER RISING, ALREADY ¨##¨#¨¨#¨¨
#¨¨#¨##¨## AT OUR KNEES. - - - - - - - - - - - - ¨¨#¨#¨##¨#
#¨##¨¨#¨¨# - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ¨##¨#¨¨#¨¨
